BLIND FAITH - The First Supergroup

The group existed for only a very brief period and left behind a single self-titled album, but its historical significance extends far beyond that. Blind Faith proved that highly talented musicians could work together, despite their different backgrounds and experiences, creating transcendent music. The supergroup phenomenon would become very popular in the 1970s, but the pioneering effort that was Blind Faith would forever remain in our collective memory as one of rock's giant leaps forward. The collective talents of guitarist Eric Clapton, vocalist and keyboardist Steve Winwood, bassist Rick Grech, and drummer Ginger Baker represented the formative years and experiences of British rock in the 1960s. They played in some of the most important bands of that decade: the Spencer Davis Group, the Graham Bond Organization, Cream, Traffic, and Family-all icons and prominent figures in rock. The music they created together as Blind Faith is (especially in retrospect) quite astonishing and unlike anything made before. Anticlimactic, varied and relaxed, it allowed them to take a well-deserved break from the emotional (and physical) extremes they all experienced with their previous groups.
